FAQ

How does Osmocote's controlled release technology benefit my plant's growth?

Osmocote’s controlled release technology uses a special resin coating on each fertilizer granule that slowly releases nutrients over time, matching the plant’s growth needs. This steady and uniform nutrient supply helps plants grow evenly and healthily, reducing the risk of nutrient burn or deficiency.

What makes this 800g starter pack ideal for new or young plants?

This soil enhancer for stressed plants is formulated to help new plants overcome transplant shock by providing balanced nutrition both above and below ground. It contains organic boosts like blood & bone, composted manure, fish extract, and seaweed, which improve soil texture, moisture retention, and plant stress resistance.

How does temperature affect nutrient release from Osmocote Plant Starter?

Osmocote’s nutrient release depends largely on soil temperature; warmer soil speeds up nutrient release, while cooler soil slows it down. The Osmocote Controlled Release Plant Starter 800g longevity is based on a standard soil temperature of about 21°C, so in hotter conditions, nutrients release faster and the feeding period shortens.

Support strong roots from the start with Osmocote Controlled Release Plant Starter 800g – ideal for seedlings, transplants, and young plants. Browse our Fertiliser Range for more targeted, slow-release fertilising solutions.
